The Biden v. Ryan Debate Thread

Jack Kennedy (really LBJ)'s tax bill cut the top marginal rate from 91% to 70%.

Martha RAddatz proving she's a hack by interjecting re military cuts "Nobody wants that"

we don't need a Navy, you dick

I don't know about you, but I don't like looking weak.

well, we'll see how this plays out politically, but for better or worse this is EXACTLY what i was hoping biden would do

we need like, what, three aircraft carriers?

i think biden's benevolent incredulity face is my favourite.

do u guys think chris matthews is enjoying this

Chelsea Peretti ‏@ChelseaVPeretti
This debate is like the last episode of LOST I don't get anything that's happening but sense it's about good and evil

Dead soldiers not funny, move on, Martha.

i love how joe and martha are sharing all these 'can you believe this fuckin guy?' moments

It is a nice tie, though.

she was referring to the sequestration, which is there because nobody wants it.

"So,what about Afghanistan?" / "well I love the troops"

they're not going to talk about women's health, are they

"That was on purpose" a good response to military action.

"My friend" is the key rhetorical flourish here. Did he call Palin "hon"?

$800b of savings from not fighting a war for the next decade a bit specious

"I want my gym spotter home"

put it in a lockbox

Ryan had a line there about problems abroad/jobs at home, and he totally stepped on it. Weeks of rehearsal shot.

i'd like to see a Biden vs. Obama debate

"Martha that's a bizarre statement"

I'm putting us leaving Afghanistan in my calendar right now. Just because, well, you know.

Ryan's starting to unravel a bit, can't get his prepared lines out w/o jumbling them up.XP

silby, tough on both sides

STEP UP STEP UP

fellas! we're leavin! step up!

wow -- the right knows it's losing

charlescwcooke People who are secure in their thoughts don't browbeat the opposition, @ElisaMinneci. Sorry, but Biden's a morally vain emotional bully.

Ryan schooling us all now.

i'm worried that joe is turning off the ladeez....a little too much edge when he talks to Raddatz

Sorry, but Biden's a morally vain emotional bully.

true + irrelevant

xpost Nah, that was hot.

biden hasn't taken one drink of water

"The calendar works the same every year"

"It DOES work the same every year!"

‏@JenKirkman
Jan Hooks would have impersonated this moderator in the 90's.

Ryan got lost in the weeds

u guys paul ryan knows names of weird towns in afghanistan he's so smart <3

if the right's best response to this is "BIDEN IS MEAN!" they just got slaughtered

If I were Afghan, I would not vote for Biden.

When Biden isn’t interrupting Ryan, Raddatz is! This is the worst moderated debate I’ve ever seen. Biden is being a jerk, and Raddatz is coming down on Ryan.

More Russia!

Romney talk to Russia.

"Biden is being a jerk"

looooool eat shit
